This is going to sound so crazy it mite just work. A EVE online race car game like NASCAR or Need for Speed. But in space, on planets surface and on stations. And the cars are armed to the teeth. A race game with many dangers like a player driving on track in space can be blown off the track and killed by another player. Player created corps can build the cars and sponsor the driver. Or even EVE and DUST players can drive the cars themselves. And both EVE and DUST players can watch the race off the little TVs in their rooms on the station, and place bets on what driver will win. Maybe even try to rig the race. Also the corps logo can be place on the side of the car and the other players can click on the car and can read the corps advert. Any ideas?

Yes, I know. Of all the stuff on the whole post to reply about. The corp logo is what you pointed out. I guess its not such a stupid idea after all. Lol We will get the corp logo on our ships one day.

The pod racers from Star Wars could also work as a racing game in EVE. Just a idea as a deferent career path players can take in EVE.

EVE is not just a MMORPG. EVE is its own universe. A player driven universe. Why not add racing to EVE.

A form of Death Race would be a awesome add on to EVE

That would work to. I'm also looking forward to EVE Valkyrie. But Valkyrie is a dog fighting game.

Just do it with what you have already in place..

Let people fit whatever ship they want. Place a can somewhere in space and put bookmark in it. Then on grid with the BM but something like 200km away... place another can with BM in it .... repeat any times you want....

Now there will be rules...
- No warping from the BM location to the can (will be controlled by race officials)
- No off-grid boosting (all contestants will be in race fleet)
- Shooting others or not ... depends on race type...

Winner would be the first to grab some sort of trophy from final container...

--May even be spiced up a little by placing the next can off grid where the contestants would need to find the correct direction with DS...

There you go... Racing in EVE

Why do you think It's be slow?

There are ships that can reach the 200km can in 30 seconds. you can make it shorter as well of course.. and having pure speed fits on some ships is fun as hell.

It would be slow. your in starship. I'm talking ultra high speed race cars, or pod racers like the ones in Star Wars, but with guns.

Well whatever.. :D I'm just giving you an alternative that would be actually doable.. not something as utopian as your OP is...
You can have this race tomorrow not in 3rd decade.

All of which are slower than spaceships, and none of which require CCP to work on a fourth (fifth?) game...

Why is it every time I say something every one thinks I want it now? I am not asking for it right now. I am not even asking for it. Me and some of my friends was just talking of the future of EVE and all the awesome CCP is doing with it. This was just an idea. Yes a stupid idea. But a fun one to think about. You people have no imagination. Just give it some thought. Future race cars on thin tracks going 300 MPH with guns blowing up other race cars.

I believe what he was getting at was that we don't even have logos on our ships so how big are the chances that we'll get the rest of the things in your post...

Well what speed in your mind is fast? Starships are rather fast.
Not that it matters in the slightest, because if you want a race to last say twenty minutes it really doesn't matter if want your racing in is going a million km/h or two hundred km/h the race course would be built to suit. The faster you go the bigger the racetrack would need to be. In the end it would still take twenty minutes to complete.

But honestly at the end of the day if you want to play a Need for Speed type racing game, I would probably just suggest you go play Need for Speed.

Idea not supported!

I'm sorry but you do realize what this forum section is for right? Posting ideas that people want added to the game. So that means EVERYONE is going to poke as many holes in your idea as possible and if you can get around them all THEN it is a good idea. And maybe, MAYBE it might get added to the game.
But as you have just said that you don't even want this added to the game, why did you post here then?

Oh and I hate to burst your bubble, but ships in eve go way faster then your ultra fast super 300 MPH race car.

Eve often looks like its in slow motion because of the size of the ships. And I bet every one thought the same thing about any other idea that are on EVE.

I know it takes a long time to make a game. What I was saying it would be a neat idea to add to EVE. I am not going to stress CCP to make it just for me. If CCP wants some fresh ideas for EVE then here's this idea for a racing game. I would be willing to play it.

And yes I know a ship in warp is faster then a car. What I am stating is a small race car feels like its going faster then a mile long space ships.

Aren't there already ten thousand other games out there, across fifteen different gaming platforms, where you do exactly this?

As I already said. This was just an idea for CCP as another add on to their player driven universe. Yes I know there is tons of other racing games, I play them.
